    No, because a cow has to be impregnated and their baby is taken away (and either killed (male) or is also going to be a milk cow (female)) just for you having some pleasure.

      I get that, which is why I can’t wait for lab-grown meat to take off so that I can finally eat the things I enjoy guilt-free. I’ll be among the first to buy it the moment it’s at the grocery store. Hopefully lab-grown cheese comes next. Vegan “cheez” is awful.

        Vegan supermarket cheese is awful, but if you can find a cashew cheese they’re really good. My go to are the more upmarket supermarkets.

      I agree but vegan cheese/milk just doesn’t cut it. I’m vegetarian but until they manage to emulate the taste better I make a concession for cheese.

        In other words “I support cruelty against animals because of my taste buds, fully knowing what that animal cruelty contains”

          Yes, but you have to draw a line somewhere. The crops you eat have pesticides on, animals are trapped and killed to keep the places you eat and live clean.

      Knowing humans, it’s either that or extinction. I think cows did a pretty smart move, evolutionairywise. That said, it is time for change.

        The breeds abused for milk are like those dogs which can’t breath. What is your stance on dogs who cant breath or run, do we need to breed them to avoid their extinction?

    My brain says yes but my bowels say no.

    Brain still wins every time. I can handle some discomfort in the future for a mouth full of bliss right now.

    Yes.

    what is your reason for saying so?

    I don’t understand this part of the question :P

    The answer is yes because the question is cheese…

    Yes, because cheese is delicious. Cheese can go with meat, pasta, bread, fruit, vegetables, wine, beer, fried foods, foods with delicate flavors, and so much more. There’s such a large variety of cheeses that it’s practically its own food group.

      Cheese can also go with soup. Cheese can even be soup. Cheese can be everything you want it to be. …Cheese can be your girlfriend.

    I love cheese, but it is a rather odd food. Something squirted from a cow that is left sitting around and bacteria grows in it…. great.

    Yes. Gouda, Brie, Cheddar, Manchego, Meunster, Provolone, Parmesan, Feta, Asagio, Monterey Jack, Stilton, I could go on…

    Loved cheese but not having it any more. Not my milk not my cheese. My pleasure can’t come at the expense of another sentient, innocent being, especially not if that involves forced impregnation, being caged up, and having your children be taken almost right away who then often end up being killed because there’s no use.

    No to cheese made from bovine mammary secretions, because I try not to participate in animal exploitation anymore. Yes to plant based cheese, because it’s delicious.
